[dundee] PCI slots

[Colin Brough]

Hey folks

OK, so following the earlier thread I got the HP Proliant microserver.
And a second LAN port on a PCI card.

Have clearly not bought enough hardware in the last few years, and
didn't realise the multiplicity of variations on PCI slots! So the
purchased card doesn't fit... :-(

Before I get involved in the returns process and ordering a card that
fits, I want to get it right this time... but can't really identify
which slots I have. So, picture time:

This is a shot of the PCI slots on the motherboard of the Proliant
Microserver; backplate would be to the left. Neither of the slots fits
the card I have, which is a D-Link Gigabit card (DGE-528T Rev.B1).

On the picture the upper slot is about 6.5cm long, and the lower one
about 9cm. The upper slot seems to be labelled SLOT 2-1 PCIe X1 and
the lower one SLOT 1 PCIe2X16 25W.

I just want a Linux compatible GigaBit LAN card that will fit!!

What about:

(Says PCI Express, but I can't make the picture on the Misco catalogue
match the holes on my motherboard!?!)
